Protecting a Loved One from Scams: How a Conservatorship Can Stop Financial Exploitation in Massachusetts

-by Erin Bradbury

If you have a family member who is being scammed, the single most effective thing you can do is stop the scammer's access to their money. And in Massachusetts, the best legal tool for doing that is often a conservatorship. A conservatorship allows you to take control of your loved one's income, assets and finances when they can no longer manage them safely. Once the Court appoints you as conservator, you gain legal authority to:

Manage bank accounts and investments Redirect income and benefits away from scammer Review and stop suspicious transaction Protect remaining assets from further loss Once the money stops flowing, scammers lose interest- and your family member's finances can finally stabilize.

If you suspect that someone you care about is being financially exploited or manipulated, don't wait. Every day matters when money is disappearing. A conservatorship may be the most effective way to stop the financial hemorrhaging and protect your loved one's future.
